Dear all,

Please give me some strong justification for what is the difference in putting wall thickness in the simulation in terms of dealing with boiling heat transfer? I have some calculation for determining the difference between the outer wall temperature and inner wall temperature and the result is 32K.

What will be the main effect if we don't put any wall thickness if the temperature difference is around 32K. Highly appreciated for your consideration.

Thank you,

Best Regards,

Mark this thread as solved select the the ansewer and update on your boiling case in the old thread.

Okay, I'll do my best then I will update it to you again.

Thanks,

Try if possible to ramp URFs and fluxes as your solution evolves.

I have tried your way for handling the boiling heat transfer case, but when I put default URF, it could get me diverged directly. Otherwise, if I alter the URF then the case is still running until 2000 iterations.

Here is the URF that I used in my case:

density = 1

body forces = 0.5

vap. mass = 0.5

vol.fraction = 0.3

turb. kinetic energy = 0.3

turb. dissipation rate = 0.3

turb. viscosity = 0.5

energy = 0.6

Highly appreciated for your kindly responses. Thank you.

Okay, I will determine the wall thickness in the B.Cs of the Fluent. The thickness is about 3.5mm so I guess it would bring miscalculations if I didn't put it on my case.

Thank you,

Yes: 134 kJ/kg is the imbalance if you do not account for this temperature drop.

For this different is around 32K, is that necessary for me to build the wall thickness so there will be heat resistance that defines the different temperature between inner and outer wall temperature?

Thank you,
